Non-Residential Buyers Infomation
Revenue Canada Taxation requires nonresidents to pay twenty-five percent
(25%) of the gross rental income from the property to Revenue Canada. You
may obtain exemption from such withholding tax if you complete a government
form called an NR6 setting out that the projected income is less than the
anticipated expenses associated with the property. Most property managers
will assist in the completion of the NR6 return. Upon having filed an NR6
return, you are obligated to file an annual tax return with respect to the
property with Revenue Canada. Revenue Canada will only allow expenses to
be claimed if the returns are filed and will disallow any expenses incurred
more than two years prior to the time of filing the return, it is therefore
important that the returns are kept current to avoid expenses being disallowed
and tax being paid on the gross rental income. http://www.lamlonishio.ca/
Currency Risk
What is Currency Risk? If you are buying a property overseas you
will need to exchange your money into the appropriate foreign currency.
HIFX is a specialty brokerage service offering Private Clients corporate
rates of exchange as well as a service designed to take away the stress,
hassle and risk involved with these types of currency issues.
Example: A Canadian property priced at CAD$500,000 would have cost USD$397,455
in early January 2005. By the start of March that same property would have
increased in cost to USD$417,362 due to the change in the exchange rate.
That difference works out to USD$19,905 or a 9.5% increase in just two months.
This is a classic example of avoidable currency risk. If the Canadian Dollars
had been purchased or reserved in January through booking a forward contract,
the cost would have been fixed and thus the currency risk eliminated.
The HIFX service is free for our clients and carries no obligation to trade.
